OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Robin my SR is from a small country town in middle TN. He is 19 and ready for the world. He is our only child. He bunked with another SR from Tn. They had a lot in common. What about your SR? Oh after grad my SR is going to TX for hospital corpsman school. He is going from cold to hot!! lol

Littleturtle...How do you know who your son bunked with? Are you getting letters from him already? I hope they were able to write today.
My nephew was in the Coast Guard and he's a fireman/medic in Austin, TX. He is originally from Tennessee and loves Texas. I think your son will welcome the change in weather there. Have a good week and I'll stay in touch. Looking forward to March 16!!!

Elena...Welcome!! This is a great place to spend time while you count down the days to PIR. My son's girlfriend is in DC at college but meeting us in GL for graduation. It's a wonderful thing for you and your SR's mom to have each other during this time away from him. We will all be so proud of our Sailors on March 16!! Hope to see you and Minordetails42 there:)
